Best/Worse &What did I learnt today/Chat with Friends #49

Laura, how wonderful you got to spend time with DG Isabel Rose..how far did you say she lived from you? can't wait for the photo's..here you are, up and ready to check parcels, surprise/surprise..bet you are anxious...you are starting your day and we're ending ours..I'm looking forward to a good night's rest...

Jeannine, congratulations as well, a sister for Murphy, wonder how excited he'll be...as for New York I always wanted to go, a dream of mine, maybe one day..am sure the island is breathtaking...not your pc again, somethng must not have been repaired properly..

Well girls just left, one finished the back of her chair, the other still working on her Canada Geese floormat, the other is doing 2 daisy chairs...the others just various projects..more gabbing than painting..

I'm yawning so better say goodnight..

lighthouse chair back
She was quite amazed at it as she's only started to paint..

We're not quite sure how we'll finish the outer area of the floormat, will finish the geese and scene then decide..

Gardengirl. I had the same exact thing happen to my puter because my two GDs were on it and downloaded something and it went to heck you know? I took it and had them wipe it out and put all back in. It was $150.00 plus $65.00 a year for Norton Anti Virus. All has been well for 4 months now. I had Norton on an older puter and should have stuck with it. It is well worth the price. BEV

I lost you....I went away and you ran away and I have jet lag and don't know my name anymore. Anyway, wonderful trip, great state, fantastic wildflowers....it was all incredible.

I really do have jet lag, and I know you worried about me Betty, but all is well, I had an appointment for my nerve injections today and that is a cureall for pain. I was without phone service while there, and anything I posted would have been on Ava or Carol's computer, and so I tried to post only to the Carol thread, instead of takingup time on their computers.

It was a fabulous trip, and I am sure I will be able to catch up tomorrow...just can't do it tonight.

go to Carol's Journey on Parking Lot, or go here (below) for several photos...I took 669 pictures, so I haven't weeded them out yet......plus I will be doing two articles about the trip in the near future.

Gita I will answer you tomorrow, so don't fret about it...not a problem. Just have a good trip, and take care.

I missed you all.....truly did, but I was so busy the week passed in a blur.

Hi Paul, I know you are busy this week, but thanks for keeping me entertained while in AK...

Here is the photo thread I started, and will continue it tomorrow...too tired right now.
Hugs
Sharon

Just popping in before heading to bed. Things have been a little crazy here for the past couple of weeks. I can't wait till school is finished on Friday.

Betty, we'll be taking the train out on June 29 and will make our way south for a couple weeks. I'll d-mail you about our more specific plans and hopefully we can work something out. Starzz, I would also love to visit you and your gardens while we're down south so I'll d-mail you too.

Okay, I need to get to bed. Tomorrow afternoon is a play day at school so I need to get my energy up for the fun and excitement!

Jeannine they are so adorable, get ready and brace yourself. I didn't know you were into racing. I started a Nascar thread last year, but have not kept up on it this year. The thread, NOT NASCAR.

Wow, that was some great reading. Sharron, the link to your pictures is wonderful!!! What a magnificient time you must have had. Hey, if they do actually do a plant swap I bet it wouldn't take much nudging to get John to go. He has always wanted to see Alaska. I haven't given visiting much thought until hearing about your trip and seeing some of your pictures. I would have a wonderful time there too.

Okay, there are several people that just posted things that I want to respond to. I didn't take notes, so I hope that I will remember what all I wanted to say.

First off, another special thank you to Bev for the wonderful pictures that she shares with us. The King Tut Hosta is beautiful. I have Hosta's that are very similar looking to the King Tut, but they haven't give a bloom like this one. So pretty.

Cat, good to see you posting. Vicky, I must have missed how your company was finally able to get rid of the thief employee. Do tell. Gita, so glad that your daughter is on the mend. Liz, what is your secret to being able to get rid of what sounds like a lot of stuff? I have things that I need to get rid of, but find myself holding on to it.

Betty, Miss Betty, I hope that today will bring news of you being seen by a doctor. You need attention ASAP.

All others, have a wonderful Thursday. Take care.

Ruby

Morning, I thought I was up late last night, some of you didn't even go to bed it seems or was up equally as early...

Shar, nice to see you back with us, have been looking at the photo's as well, breathtaking..a trip you'll truly remember...yes I was extremely worried, knowing you you'd put your pain on the back burner, do what you had to do and pay for it now..you have pain each and every day so doing the memory garden even though done with love would have been extremely difficult for you...the next days once the excitement wears off I'm sure you'll be feeling it...

Gilly sounds like you are ready to travel..only problem is that on the 9th I leave to meet up with Judy and Liz and perhaps a few others, not yet confirmed...I'm truly on a high about that..so hopefully our schedules will co-incide..I'll d-mail you my telephone number both at home and work just incase you've lost it..wouldn't it be great for you to see Carol's gardens as well..bet the children are pleased as punch that school is over and they'll see family for a few weeks...

Ruby thank you 'sweetie' not to worry..I've 4 1/2 days lounging coming up starting tomorrow and if it's like the past 3 days promise to go to 'emerge'..Rita whose Aunt Rita is a homeopath specialist, she will put me in contact with her as well..maybe she has a herb to bring down some of the size...I was so laughing, after I sent you the photo of my extended/extended tummy, thought to myself now that was a 'crazy' things to do..lol but it was just so you could see just how uncomfy I am with this...thought she'll be showing John the " in the flesh " photo's we gals post along with our gardening info and friendship threads..lol

Nascar..hmmm no race car Dawn and Jeannine - smashed enough cars in a 6 months period years ago, just about a doz.or so... I should have been on the circuit (none my fault -honest) ..I could go by tryke though..lol

Took a walk in the gardens, so pretty, country looking and is just the look I wanted...come sit with me and have your coffee...let's enjoy the friendship...

Oh Gilli..wouldn't that be fun..I hope you will be able to visit. Maybe Betty could manage the time to come too.
Would love to show you and your family my home and garden. You would be most welcome to stay overnight.

Betty..I am amazed at the talent your painting ladies have..must be their good teacher. Hugs..hope you are feeling better soon.

Judy..your posts are such a delight to read.

Jeannine..what a big litter of puppies..wow!..it will be hard to choose.

Sharon..Love all the pics and stories..you are still "Pumped"..as we used to say. Hope you can get some rest now.
I'll bet you are talking a mile a minute to your daughter and telling her all about your adventure.

Laura..wonderful news that you are on the mend and enjoying little Isabelle Rose. I look forward to seeing the fabrics everyone sent.

Liz..funny that your boss wants to check your yard sale goodies out. For sure she will get first pick.

Ruby..I am like you..hard to get let go of all our collectibles for only a dollar or two. I used to go to a lot of yard sales..and buy trinkets..I was addicted to baskets at one time. Still have alot of them. I have to tell myself not to stop when I see yard sales now.

Dawn....how sad..about the murders..
Vicki..I don't watch the news all the time either..seems it is all about murders and traffic accidents.

Hi cat..Luckily we seem to escape the really severe weather here where I live. So much devastation in some areas in the US. It is our long weekend coming up here..and they are calling for rain showers for the next four days..but the gardens love it for sure.

My car is in being repaired..so i will be staying home today....squealing came from the front wheel and steering acted strange yesterday when I was driving..I was about 45 mins. drive from home when it started..and I had my heart in my throat coming back, and phoned the garage right away..they said bring it in..so I will hope it is fixed today or tomorrow.
My car is ten years old..but in good shape with a sun roof ..and I really like it..and I have replaced a lot of things on it in the last couple of years. My son told me to buy a new one...but I think I will just hang on to this one for a bit longer. It is hard to know when to "throw in the towel" with cars. I figure even if I spend a thousand each year on reapirs..it is still cheaper than buying a brand new one. It is a Chev Cavalier Z24..It was called the car with " a serious case of attitude" when I bought it....loved that!..I can still remember how excited I was when I got it.

Gita.. .Bon Vovage!

Paul if you are lurking..I keep meaning to tell you how special your wife's guest spot on your was. ..ten years together..Loved how she said, when you met...you both needed someone to love and be loved.

Have a gardening all....and to borrow a great line....
"have the day you need.."

Bev..I do find slugs on the top of the hosta leaves in the mornings..all my hostas are in the shade. all day.

I had a purple leaf clematis that grew up this chair for seveal years..I don't see any growth this year..but some Ivy has found its way up.

Cheers,
Carol

morning all,

shar, wonderful photos of your trip! look forward to seeing more, hope you got some rest.

gilli, now im going to be a brat!! we get betty first lol
hope you do get to see betty and carol though, sounds like the months ahead will be busy for you and the children.

ruby, lol well it actually was a long time over due, i always was a collector, and kept things in their place.
but dh"s mom would make me take all of her collections!
and believe me, i dare anyone to tell her no lol
so the house had become over run with stuff, i think what really did it was listening to how you were uncluttering, and seeing old pictures how there wasnt much in this house and it looked alot bigger in rooms without all the junk lol
so when dh said you need to unload half this house or im bringing home a escavator and leveling down the house.
actually that was the kick in the keaster i needed lol
guess you just finally get to a point where its time to get rid of things and its ok to let go and not put it back...
but i dont know how im going to be if they try to bargain it cheaper i might bring it back lol. so this is the first one and when i get back i'll get rid of some more.

bev, did you find you ring yet?

betty, the flowers are so pretty in the yard i cant wait to see your car bet you have it packed to the roof lol hows your stomache?
thick with fire smell horrible giving me a terrible headace! now they say stay indoors it isnt good to breathe all that oh just a bad situation they said on the news 1000 fires going on in the state.

everyone else have a wonderful day

Good Morning all!! Liz, I have not found my ring but have all the confidence in Betty. When I find it you will all hear me screaming YEAH!!! Ruby, my house is the same way. I could get rid of half of what I have and still have too much. I think everytime I get rid of something some of the other things must have babies. One of my big problems is that Scotty won't let me git rid of a lot of the stuff that he can no longer work with. He saves rusty nails!!! LOL Sharon, so glad to have you back, will look at your pics tday. Glad you had a good time and it did go fast always does. All you good people have a great day. HUGS BEV

Me again........I was wondering how a person goes about getting an invitation to meet up at Judy's? Besides Betty and Liz, who else is going? I wanted to spend some time with Betty and have her work a little bit with me in terms of learning to paint.

Bev, I was going to say that since you said that it is supposed to rain there for three days, maybe another look around the yard where you think you might have lost the ring would do any good. After the rain, the earth will be looser than usual and that gem might just pop up where you can find it.

Liz, now I feel badly that you were encouraged by me and I haven't made as much progress as I would have liked to. Starzz said it when she talked of trinkets and other collectibles. That is my big problem. I used to go to an auction sale almost every week and I brought home loads of goodies which have now just turned in to clutter for me.

I wish you much luck with selling the things. For myself, I just don't have the time nor the energy to to a sale. I wouldn't mind donating the stuff if I thought the charity could really use it. One of these days, I am going to do it. Please continue to update us on how the sales are going. Maybe I can get motivated again.

Well, I have several things in the kitchen that need my attention. Will check in again later on.

Ruby

Hello there, not going to talk for long, had a bit of a 'breakdown' this morning..can't stop crying..for no 'good' reason...guess I'm not well...

Let me say that when I took this job in the city I was told that I'd get rides with each and everyone, not going out of their way, I'd drive to a meeting place enroute..well Suzanne has been wonderful but now a day or so a week I have to find rides, sometimes because I know my 2 nieces aren't particularly pleased with being saddled with me, I drive myself..because I've had a few episodes lately of feeling as though I'm going to faint I've not wanted to temp fate until I get some meds..so asked the girls yesterday for a ride, one of them isn't very people oriented, so this morning I met them, got in the car, they gabbed/gabbed for the entire 100 miles not once talking..so I stewed, I am very kind to them, do things for them, for Lee-Anne's little one, Cindy for her house, infact I'm doing a painting here in the office, if they needed a ride I'd be right there to pick them up..it's totaly rude and I for one don't need a job that I have to endure 'crap' so I lost it when I got out of the car, wanted to say what I have to say without crying, but not, thanked them for my ride, then told them I'd find my own ride home, or DS Jeff could drive me home OR I'd sleep here until tomorrow where I can hitch a ride with Suzanne...

By the time I got upstairs, Paul was here and I was shaking..so he asked me what was wrong, I went on to tell him, said he had better things to do today than keeping everyone on an even keel, acknowledged that he didn't know why the girls were so adament about not giving me rides when he pays the gas, said when I needed to come in he'd pay my gas..told him it wasn't the point of not having gas paid, but that I carefully when asking yesterday for a ride, explain why it was I didn't feel comfortable driving..so now, I'm sitting here, trying to calm myself..Suzanne and Wayne are out today, Paul has to leave at noon and I can GUARANTEE YOU, I'll find my way home even if it means I will take the greyhound..I'm 'p ed off' and for me to be this way, I either have to be feeling poorly and d..n..mad..so that's my day...

Will respond to all your lovely posts when I stop shaking/crying/stewing etc. say a little prayer for me please....

Ruby, if you could see me, My eyes just got big and round, and the smile across my face is making my eyes twinkle in delight!!!

My arms are opens to anyone who would like to join us!!

OMG Betty, LIZ, my dream just got brighter....
Holy Macaroli's I can't wait now.

I am so happy I've tears!

I had a dream once, Was in a garden, I heard Betty's voice so distintcly
and there were others with me but i didn't see, and you all are fullfiling that dream, I can't beleive it...No one wake me

Now I sitting hear blubbering at the thought of this visit! Got to go compose myself.
Big hug, Gigantic smile!!!


LOL, to Answer your question, Liz, Betty, Possibly Shar,(i'm hoping) My friend Equillibrian (Lauren) She lives in Gurnee, which is about an hour away...
Door is open and this just keeps getting better every day!!!

Bev..that is gorgeous! Is it Balloon flower?

My late husband was a saver too..he passed away in 95.
We had two happy years together till he had a sudden heart attack.
He came to live here in my house and brought many things from his home.

I still have rusty nails about..but every once in awhile I throw some out..
But I will say, so many things he had were of good use to me over these past 13 years.
Many things I passed on to my nephew who got his own place recently.

I am saying prayers that things calm down for you Betty, Pardon this ???? But have the docs checked your overies. Read somewhere that trouble there can cause bloating. Sometimes you have to tell the docs what to do. I know I have had to. Do you work 100 miles away from home??? Me thinks you do too much. Slow down girl!!!! LOVE & HUGS BEV Hi all talk later have to go to the store.

Starzz, That is Yucca. I know I will probably save some rusty nails too if I ever have to be alone. LOVE BEV

Gosh Betty I don't know what to say. They were very rude. If you explained you haven't been feeling good they should of been more understanding. I hope someday they are not in your shoes and have nieces treat them like that.

Hope they find out what is wrong with you so that you feel normal again

Hugs
Vicki

Cross Posted...

Oh Betty, I am saying a little prayer for you.
I hope you can calm down and just take it easy for now.

BRB

Betty I just prayed for you and I know it takes a lot to get you that way. People are just takers and you are not, people who are not givers, act as though any inconvenience is a giant ordeal. They are resentful. I am like you, I would just stay the night or whatever or if it was going to be an issue, I'd quit. Not worth it. HELLO DO THEY NOT REALIZE YOU ARE NOT FEELING WELL TOO. I hope Paul talks to them and sees what is up their butts. I hope they apologize to you but meanwhile I would send them an email and tell them how that feels and not to worry they will not have to go out of their way for you any more. That is just me though.

I am so jealous. I want to go with yall. I really don't have the money and with my luck some company would finally respond to my resume. (Nobody has, the market is real bad.) If I was still a massage therapist I would be able to come to Ill. Sad face and pouty icon

Liz when we are in smoke bad, it effects my eyes so much and if it is real close, It burned my lungs one time. In Northridge. That time I was worried. It took a few weeks to heal it up too.

Oh Betty.......BIg Hug ((((((((((((((((((( )))))))))))))))))))))

You are the kindest most generous person I have ever known..They were ungrateful and thoughtless ..but sometimes that is how 'some' the young ones are these days...
Hopefully they will think about things and apologize.


Bev..thanks..I should have known..and if fact I wondered about yucca..but there are so many stalks of blooms I thought not.
I only get one huge stalk on my Yucca. This is how it looked two days ago.
I just came in from whipper snipping all over the place. Arms need a rest...
Lunch time..........

Headache city girls...yuk..
Did get an e-mail...here's here response....

I really don't understand why you've told dad I am the problem. I've been nothing but accomodating to you over the years for rides, and you know that. I don't mind driving you in, all I wanted was a little warning so I could plan my life around it.

I got int he car this morning and said "good morning" and you said nothing so I assumed you were having a bad morning. I did nothing to be rude to you or to show any kind of malice, in fact I slept all the way down.

I apologize for anything Imay have said or done to offend you. I will try to watch my attitude and how I present myself, as I had no idea that I was hurting you or offending you. When you cried this morning I was floored, as we all have our hostilities, and our moment here, but I did not know it was to that extent in your mind.

Please, in future, come to me and speak to me before it gets to this level. I am sorry that you are sick and I hope you feel better and I am sorry if I contributed to your discomfort at all...

I have not nor will I respond..#1, she's not telling the truth, she did not say good morning and she talked non stop her and Cindy the entire 100 miles, #1, Suzanne let's her know at least 3 or 4 days before I need a ride, last week it was 5 days and she had a 'fit' finally Suzanne changed her plans to give me a ride..she is NOT a thoughtful girl...everything for her is a 'drama'..oh well
And that's been my day!!!! hope your is much better...

Betty her day will come!

Betty did you read my post up there with the double petunia? BEV

I am getting angrier by the minute.
How dare them girls treat you that way.
And then get down and dirty and Lie about it grrr.

...Oh this just is not what you needed today or any other day.

I hope she figures out what the heck her malfunction is and treat you
with the respect.

Sending hugs and warm thoughts to you Betty.

Oh Betty - another big hug up to you! I'm sorry you have to deal with this!!

Carol, good thing about the puppies is we don't pick the one for us - the breeder does. Sounds kinda strangee and I was a little skeptical when Murphy was born but their reasoning makes perfect sense. Since the breeders are basically with the puppies 24/7 for the first 8 weeks of their lives, they get to know them and their personalities. When you request a dog from the breeder, you have to fill out an application where you answer lots of questions about your lifestyle - are you outdoors alot, work alot, old, young, have kids, other pets. Things like that. From that, they can match a dog's personality to the home. I have to tell you, Jackie (the breeder for Murphy) was right on with him. She picked him for us because he was a little more timid then the other puppies and she knew we had had a Golden before and had the experience with one plus had a little more maturity under our belts to help him gain his confidence. it took a few days, but he is an absolutely wonderful dog and has the BEST personality! So, I really hope this breeder (a close friend of Jackie's) is as intuitive as she is so our new girl will blend right in. I will post more pictures as she sends them.

Dawn, we actually watch a little NASCAR now too since my driver (Dario Franchitti) moved over there this year - not that he'll ever win a race any time soon!

Well, back to work for me! Y'all have a great day!!

You have a swarm of mad hornets behind you Betty. If either of those girls happened to cross any of our paths today, they would be in big trouble.

As you said, you are overly sensitive at the moment due to dealing with health issues and certainly didn't need them to act this way towards you. I am so sorry that it happened. Let us know how you get home today.

I may or may not check back in here later today. I am going to eat a bowl of salad and then try to nap. Darius is coming again later today to stay for two nights while she has appointments at The University of Virginia which is very near where I live. I have been up sinc 1 AM again and need to see if I can sleep so that I can speak sensibly when Darius arrives.

I will say a prayer for you Betty.

Ruby

I am so sorry, Betty......
I wish I could tell you that when unkind people make remarks to us, we need to let it go. They certainly are not worthy of our worry and grief.

Years ago, I told my daughter that if some people were unimportant to her, it didn't matter what they said, because in reality...they can't make a difference in our lives.

However, these girls are in some way related to you, so I guess my sage advice would not work in this case.

I am just so sorry....
Ruby said it best....you have a bunch of mad hornets behind you! We've got your back, Betty.
Love...

We'll slowly I'm calming down..Paul came in before he had to leave for his doctor's appt. and wanted to take me home, put a note on the door so say if someone needed someone to go next door where the girls are..Wayne was suppose to have all day off but guess Paul called him and asked him to come in because he thought I'd be going home.. so Wayne got here about 1:30...I AM a stubborn person when I think or feel I've been offended unduly so, I would not leave..told him I'd go to Jeff's for the evening..NOT, Jeff is at meetings and I've not been able to contact him, so a few minutes ago the girls came in said they had to leave early, did not inquire as to if I needed a ride, but why would they as I said I had made alternate plans... so they left...

My thoughts are to walk to the mall up the street when office closes, about 1 mile, have supper and then go to a movie and then walk back and sleep here...see the positive side, I'll save the drive home tonight and in the morning...won't say lol...

Wayne sat with me for a few hours just gabbing so it passed the afternoon and calmed me down, can feel myself getting worked up again, so better find something to do..

Thanks for caring...

Betty I used to do that when I worked in Norhtridge till my friend's husband was dieing of cancer and she said Mark and I want you to stay here now and keep me company on your nights working here. That was so fun and I loved not having to commute home in traffic.

Now I definitely think you should copy and past her lies in an email and give the true response to each one line by line, refresh her memory of what she talked about all the way. I would want her not to get away with it, having you seem the bad guy for buying into her lies with no response.

You know it isn't true. It is an email so it is not that big of a deal. You know she got notice so she was letting you know it is a big deal to have to pick you up with notice even if she gets paid for it. I would just want her to know that you get it, so she need not worry about it in the future.

Some people have their moods ha? I guess she is telling you about hers apparently.

I get real sensitive if people are not nice to me for no reason. If I am in a bad mood, I say I am, It is me, not you so I will do you all a favor and stay to myself today since I am in a bad place.

Betty,
I am the same as you--if someone offends me or hurts my feelings--I stew and sulk for days! I just am, not assertive enough to go right to that person and tell him/her how they made me feel.

Letting go is easier said than done. I LOVE the below essay titled "LET IT GO". So much truth ti it all............It IS a bit "relationship oriented".....
Hey! I am all packed! Something accomplished today. Mowed the lawn too. HOT!!!!!

Gita

***********************************************************************************

LET IT GO!!!

There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone. When people can walk away from you let them walk.

Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. The Bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19]

People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them go. And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. You've got to know when it's dead. You've got to know when it's over.

Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay. Let them go!!

If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was never
intended for your life, then you need to...... LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ....... LET IT GO!!!

If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth.....
LET IT GO!!!

If someone has angered you..... LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge...... LET IT GO!!!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction...... LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents…..
LET IT GO!!!

If you have a bad attitude....... LET IT GO!!!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better...... LET IT GO!!!

If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in Him.... LET IT GO!!!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship....... LET IT GO!!!

If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves......
LET IT GO!!!

If you're feeling depressed and stressed ......... LET IT GO!!!

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need to......LET IT GO!!!

Let the past be the past. Forget the former things. GOD is doing a new thing for 2008!!! LET IT GO!!!

Get Right or Get Left ... think about it, and then .....LET IT GO!!!

"The Battle is the Lord's!" During the next 60 seconds, Stop whatever you are doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it is only One minute!) All you have to
do is the following: You simply say "The Lords Prayer" for the
person that sent you this message:

The Lords Prayer
Our Father, who are in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into
temptation but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom,
and the Power, and the Glory, forever. Amen.

Next, stop and think and appreciate God's power in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to Him. God loves you and watches over you every day.

That is a good one. I am so sensitive that if I confront someone face to face, I will just choke up and cry or if I get myself past that, it has gone on a long time and I try to talk but if they start to lie or get nasty, I will blow and I will tell them exactly what the real score is, then I look like a dweeb and like I rehearsed all the stuff I crammed down.

It is better if you can let it go, but if you have to have a caring relationship with them because they are family or good friends, than some time you do, have to tell them something,unless you can truly let it Go.

oh betty, im sorry to hear it... we all understand how you feel.

human nature is the hardest to deal with. we all have our expectations and when people dont meet them ( and often they are not unreasonable expectations) its hard to deal with. often its the little things that hurt the most! you are especially sensative and caring. you do give so much with open arms... when you open your hand and someone returns with a knife and such, it hurts.
chin up, they have not evolved out of their own world enough to see the beauty of yours.

we love and appreciate you.

Evening all, well almost morning..first thank you for the support..secondly, Suzanne came and picked me up, infact 45 minutes early...got to Midland where my car was and noticed something on the windshield, thought I got a ticket for parking at the mall much too long, no go, was a letter and a card, letter said, 'sorry I backed up, had a trailer on my truck and smashed into your vehicle...here's my card, please call" one just had to laugh..not my day, so went over the Suzanne's daughter, I had promised her I'd help her in the nursery for 1 hr. so call the number on the card, the gentleman that answered the phone I guess was the boss, said the gentleman was gone but perhaps he could help me, so told him about the mishap..said he was the boss, apologized and said they'd pay all costs..well I think I shocked him, told him it was just a car, not a leg or an arm, nobody was hurt, all ok, appreciated the note and his not running off..he said he'd relay the message because the young man was so very upset..told him not to be..only metal right? So tomorrow I must drop off at the body shop and see what route we'll take...so now I'm in Midland and I realize for me to get that upset I must not be feeling well so went to emergency, 4 hr. wait, but I waited..just walked in..the doctor gave me something to help pressure and booked another cat scan and another test that I told him I just had about 1 month ago and he insisted I have another...he checked some of the test results but didn't come back to tell me anything..the nurse gave me a perscription, told me the out-patient dept. would call with regards to an appt. so I am very tired, not sure but I think Kathy was here and cut my grass again..I'm not sure, will have to ask if it's something she's doing on her own or if my boys are hiring her to do so...will check that out tomorrow..

Off to bed I go..won't say the best/worse/what did I learn because I think you know the answer to each ...

Thanks you kindly
night/night

Love you, Betty, take care.

Honey. That is the smartest move you have made to walk yourself in there especially after such a long long day too. Glad you got a ride home too. Sleep well. Hope someone tells you something soon. If you can order a copy of the tests to be sent to the specialist, that may help too when you have your visit.

Morning, who could not feel wonderful to get up in the morning and walk ones garden (especially when an earthly angel cut the grass)...lol

Like magic, flowers are opening..best part is being able to cut bouquets for the house..bedroom looks pretty garbed with flowers...

must have been a little close, this yellow flower lost it's beauty through my photo..
